Dave LaRonde’s idea above will work for you instantly.

Yes of course, but thats a bit of fix one problem – create a thousand more kind of solution. I want the videos to be user friendly on multiple devices without having to rotate my head or monitor every time I switch between programs…

I tried the higher ‘Level’ settings, but the iPad rejected them – iTunes wouldn’t let me drag and drop them without an error message each time. So I kept the level at 4.0, reduced the bitrate to 1 Mbps, and tried to change the height and width. By default it was set to 1920×1080, and given that I wanted the height to be 2048 pixels, I deleted the 1080 and typed 2048. Then I pressed Enter. Immediately Premiere gave me the framesize too high error. But if I changed the 1920 to 22 pixels wide first, I was then able to type 2048 in the height box. After that Premiere let me type 1536 into the width box. Bad programing. Unfortunately, this was when the level was set to 5.0 to allow those dimensions. So in the end I had to set it at 4.0 so the iPad would understand the file, and reduce the resolution to 768×1024 with a bitrate of 1 or 2 Mbps. The lyrics are a bit blurry, but I couldn’t see a nice way to do it without making a bunch of sideways videos that would not be universally compatible with other computer screens without changing the rotation of every screen these videos would ever be used on and having to turn my head sideways every time I switched between programs on my iPad while on stage. Pity. H.264 seems to have some kind of budget.

Thanks Steven. It works perfectly now. I was really worried that my camera was incompatible. I just exported the film in PAL widescreen 1.422 without having to start again (I had setup in HDV widescreen mode). Such a quick and perfect response! Thank you Creative Cow and thank you Steven L. Gotz! 🙂

My project setting is set to HDV 1080i 25 (Sony 50i). Pixel Aspect Ratio says: HD Anamrphic 1080 (1.333)
I have captured two 60min tapes that were filmed in HDV widescreen mode. They appear to run smoothly in the program monitor in Premiere Pro 2. I have then overlayed photo images and used Video Effects – Motion -Position and Scale to make the photos zoom in to where the faces in the photos are positioned.
In the top right hand corner (the “program monitor”?) the effects work exactly as I’d like them to – they fill the screen with image and zoom exactly onto the faces in the photos. Even when I attached a television monitor it worked. But then when I exported them….
As I write this I am discovering that exporting itself has settings. It seems unnecessary… Hang on a sec.
I just exported an AVI file that was extremely accurate to the program monitor, except it was squeezed to 4:3 ratio. Now I nearly know how to do it, but if you know, can you please tell me how to present the AVI file in widescreen HD?
Thanks Steven – your website has already taught me a lot.
